Pentagon Fires DIA Chief Amidst Dispute Over Iran Strike Assessment

US Air Force Lt Gen. Jeffrey Kruse has been removed from his position as Chief of the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) by the Pentagon. This action follows a DIA report that challenged President Trump’s statement that US strikes had ‘obliterated’ Iranian nuclear facilities. Lt Gen. Kruse’s removal is part of a broader pattern of leadership changes within the military and intelligence communities. Senator Mark Warner expressed strong concerns, indicating that such actions could undermine the integrity and objectivity of intelligence gathering and analysis within the government.
